All Chapters of A Mate for my Lycan Alpha: His Mate, Her Nightmare: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Kane’s POV I sit in my dimly lit office, my fingers gripping a glass of whiskey that remains untouched. The ice has long since melted, the amber liquid swirling as I roll my wrist, watching the way the firelight catches its depths. But it does nothing to dull the storm raging inside me. The weight of my decision presses on my chest like a vice, tightening with every second. I had agreed. Agreed to take my Luna to bed. Agreed to give the pack the heir they demanded. It was logical. Expected. Yet, I feel like I’m suffocating. A muscle ticks in my jaw as I stare out the window into the darkened forest beyond the packhouse. The wind howls through the trees, rattling against the glass panes as though mocking me. The beast inside me stirs, pacing restlessly, snarling ay the very thought of what I am expected to do. "She’s not our mate." The words are a snarl in my mind, my wolf’s fury crackling like lightning through my veins. He refuses to accept Sophia, my Luna, refuses

Kane’s POVThe clash of metal fills the air, the grunts of my warriors echoing around the training grounds. I stand at the edge, arms crossed, watching them spar. My body moves through the drills automatically, but my mind is far away.Far away on her.Avery.No matter how hard I try, I can’t silence my Beta’s voice in my head.“Are you sure Avery was telling the truth?”I scowl. I shouldn’t be thinking about this. She made her choice, she lied to my face. Said the child wasn’t mine. Told me she had been with someone else after I rejected her.Then why won’t my wolf accept it?A warrior lunges at me, forcing me back to the present. Instinct takes over. I sidestep easily, gripping his wrist and twisting until he grunts in pain. With a sharp pull, I slam him into the ground, hard.The ground shakesA hush falls over the training ground. The warriors stop mid-fight, looking at me warily. I can feel their unease. They’ve seen me brutal in training before, but today ia different.Today, I

Kane’s POV The moon hangs low in the sky, casting a pale glow over the packhouse. I should be sleeping, but rest has eluded me for weeks. My thoughts are a tangled mess, circling around ruling the packs and handing my Luna who never fails to remind me of how I still let Avery to control my heart even though she is gone But no matter how much I try to push Avery from my mind, she lingers like a ghost, haunting my every waking moment. Her defiant gaze. The way my wolf still aches for her despite everything. I exhale sharply, dragging a hand through my hair as I step toward my office window. The forest stretches before me, silent and still, but something about the night feels off. The unease that has been clawing at my chest lately refuses to fade. A sharp knock echoes against my door. I turn just as my Beta, Liam, strides in, his expression grim. The tension in his shoulders is unmistakable. My muscles coil. I know that look. “There was an attack on the border,” Liam repor

Kane’s POVI sit at the head of the dining hall, my fingers drumming against the polished wood of the table, my plate untouched. Across the room, Sophia, my chosen Luna, is speaking with a visiting Alpha. Her laughter is soft, too sweet, her hand lingering on the man’s arm for just a second too long.It’s supposed to be harmless, a diplomatic show of hospitality. But something about it irks me. It seemed like she was deliberately doing everything to get my attention.My wolf growls low in my mind, restless and on edge. I shove the irritation down, forcing myself to look away. This isn’t what should be consuming my thoughts. I have bigger problems.The attack.The message."A pup for a pup."The words have been gnawing at me all day. A threat, a warning… or something more?I take a deep breath, pushing back my chair. The visiting Alpha turns toward me, expecting me to rejoin the conversation, but I lift a hand."Enjoy the feast," I say, my voice even. "I have matters to handle, but I’l

Avery’s POVThe journey to Red-Claw Pack is the longest and most agonizing of my life.I don’t stop. I don’t rest. My body screams for a break, but my mind is too wild with panic to listen. My son is out there, taken, and every second wasted could be the difference between saving him and losing him forever.I push forward, ignoring the throbbing ache in my legs and the burning in my lungs. I managed to find a driver in the next town, a rogue willing to take me close to Kane’s territory for a ridiculous amount of money. But I don’t care. I would give up every penny I have if it meant getting Jace back.By the time I reach the border of Kane’s pack lands, the sun has barely started to rise. My heart pounds against my ribs as I step forward, breath hitching at the sight of two warriors blocking my path.“Turn around.” One of them commands, his sharp gaze raking over me. “Outsiders aren’t allowed past this point.”“I—” My voice is raw from exhaustion, but I force myself to stand taller. “
